Foi hoje revelada a lista final dos 203 jogadores que vão participar no Draft da Global Poker League, e nessa lista temos um português - Diogo NORTE Cardoso.

NORTE tem noção que nesta primeira edição será muito complicado ser escolhido, mas ainda assim não quis ficar de fora desta experiência:

A GPL e a Sportification do Poker, são para mim o maior passo que o Poker pode dar. Poderá ser um Boom tão grande ou maior do que o efeito Moneymaker. É a minha opinião e espero estar correcto porque o jogo poderá alcançar uma popularidade incrível, e o jogador de Poker uma notoriedade mundial. Afastando-se o Poker de um jogo de casino e vivendo a GPL num patamar de MLS, MLB, NFL ou NHL.

O Poker é um desporto, este modelo é um bom princípio, e apesar de achar bastante difícil ser escolhido no draft, porque penso que vão ser escolhas efectuadas pela proximidade entre o Capitão da equipa e as pessoas que o rodeiam, não haverá muito espaço para jogadores fora dos paises onde há equipas.

Portugal neste momento não tem o "Glorious Lisbon" ou os "Oporto Dragons" mas poderá ser algo para o futuro, porque qualidade existe, e há um grupo de jogadores portugueses que têm condições de entrar em qualquer equipa.

Agora resta esperar, e sendo escolhido ou não, serei um seguidor desta fantástica ideia.

Esta lista de 203 jogadores foi criada a partir dos jogadores do TOP-1000 do Global Poker Index que mostraram a sua vontade de participar, sabendo estes que os managers de cada uma das 12 equipas terá direito a escolher apenas 3 jogadores no Draft. Cada equipa contará ainda com 2 WildCards.

A escolha realizar-se-á a 25 de Fevereiro, numa cerimónia que terá lugar no SLS Hotel de Beverly Hills. Evento com transmissão no Twitch e que será conduzido por Daniel Negreanu e Phil Hellmuth.

Nesta lista de 203 jogadores, contam-se 33 países e mais de $500 milhões ganhos em torneios ao vivo:
